It was not an open air platform but a layer of transparent glass hanging above the platform, as though it was covered by a huge glass lid.
In fact, it was in the evening and outside the glass lid was an orange sky decked by a beautiful sunset.
However, looking up from the high platform, there was a dark blue sky with plenty of stars shining.
Di Fuyi was standing on the high platform. As usual, he was wearing the moonlight white robe and a spell hovered around as he moved. He raised his head and looked at the countless stars dotting the sky as though deep in thoughts.
Looking at him from afar, his silhouette looked slightly lonely.
Suddenly, something at his waist glowed. He took out a vintage mirror and tapped on it.
An image of a young lady’s portrait appeared in the mirror. She had long black hair, her eyelashes were long and her features were beautiful. She looked young like a 14 or 15 year old. She was as pretty as a blossoming flower.
That was Gu Xijiu!
She was leaning against the wall in the carriage with her eyes closed. She was asleep. She looked exhausted as there were two dark circles around her eyes and the birthmark which almost disappeared has been darkened again. Her lips were pale, like a flower that barely survived a rainstorm.
Perhaps, she could finally take a good rest. Her features looked slightly gentler; less ferocious when she was asleep. Sometimes, she even looked weak and deserved some love and protection.
Di Fuiyi looked at her with a complicated expression. His gaze was scanning her body inch by inch, as though examining her with an X-Ray…
A moment later, he moved his gaze away and tapped on the mirror again. Gu Xijiu’s image was gone and Messenger Jiangshan appeared in the mirror.
Messenger Jiangshan was accelerating the carriage, that was the reason his image was shaking in the mirror, "The Lord, I think she is not feeling well. I realized her hands were very cold when I went to the tea stall to terminate the engagement as Mu Feng. She looked unwell as though she was just trying to pretend she was fine…"
"She touched her hands?" Di Fuyi asked with a mild tone.
Messenger Jiangshan suddenly shivered and quickly explained, "I’m sorry Lord, I accidentally touched her hand while I handed the engagement termination document to her…"
Di Fuyi blinked his eyes slightly, "Did she sign it? Did she asked anything?
"No, nothing. She just signed it after I had finished explaining the terms and conditions."
Di Fuyi’s eyes looked downward, and the edge of his lips curved upwards.
Messenger Jiangshan immediately shivered again and said, "Lord, are her injuries serious?"
"She was poisoned but she is not in danger now. There are still some poisonous residues in her lungs, hence, she looked pale…" Di Fuyi told him about Gu Xijiu’s condition.
Messenger Jiangshan paid full respect, as his master was really the best physician! His skill was unbeatable as he could see the symptoms of the patient with only a mirror, even the number one physician (Long Siye) in the Starry Crescent Land could not do it…
"Lord, what kind of treatment does she need?"
Di Fuyi was idling for a short while and remained silent.
Messenger Jiangshan (Mu Feng) did not dare pressure him. Finally, Di Fuyi spoke, "Put the jade into her right hand."
"Yes!" Mu Feng did not dare delay any further. He quickly released his jade; it flew into the cabin and landed on Gu Xijiu’s half-opened-palm. Gu Xijiu who was sleeping was holding it…
Di Fuyi looked into the mirror and the palm lines on the little hand slowly appeared in the mirror…
There was a thin layer of dead skin on the palm, a few inflamed wounds, and minor scratches.
Apparently, the master of this little hand had tried her best to survive in the last few days.
Di Fuyi looked at the little hand for a short while and sighed. He tapped on the mirror again and a colorful ray had been transmitted to the vintage mirror…
Gu Xijiu who was in deep sleep did not realize that the jade in her hand was glowing. A hand appeared at the back of the jade and was placed into her palms. Di Fuyi then transmitted the colorful ray into her palm…
"Shoot…" A weird sound was heard from Gu Xijiu’s sleeve. Lu Wu stretched its head out and was frightened by the colorful ray. Its fur stood straight on its ends as it roared softly towards the jade…
Di Fuyi frowned.
Lu Wu probably thought the jade was going to hurt its ‘mother’ as it tried to scratch the jade after a few roars!
The jade shone and the colorful ray shone onto Lu Wu. It screamed and fell off from Gu Xijiu’s wrist and lied beside her hand. It was not moving at all…
Mu Feng shook his head outside the carrier. Although Lu Wu was a majestic being, it was too small and too young to fight with The Lord.
Mu Feng looked into the cabin and realized Gu Xijiu was surrounded by the colorful rays.
Mu Feng sighed silently. Although The Lord had agreed to cancel the marriage agreement, he still missed her and even treated her with his core spiritual power.
Apparently, that would consume a lot of his spiritual power…
The Lord really treated her very well! He has never done this to anyone!
He did not even treat the heaven's gift disciple so nicely before. He only made sure they did not die but never put so much effort to help…
Eventually, the colorful rays slowly faded and disappeared in the cabin. Gu Xijiu’s face slowly turned rosy again and her lips regained its pinkish color. Surprisingly, the birthmark on her forehead was lightened again and it was almost gone!
She was quite pretty!
However, why did the little girl not like The Lord? Pardon, why did she not like Di Fuyi and rejected the engagement so steadily?
Even Mu Feng who was the most mature one felt sad for Celestial Master Zuo…
He felt that the little girl had gone overboard and was too naïve…
Initially, Mu Feng did not want to report her injuries. However, The Lord had asked him and he did not dare hide it.
In the end, The Lord ordered him to send a message to the tea stall as Messenger Jiangshan…
Visiting the tea stall with two different identities in a day has made Mu Feng feel proud of his capabilities, while having a headache at the same time.
However, the most challenging task was how he could put Gu Xijiu who was not qualified into Tianju Hall.
Those stubborn old folks in Tianju Hall were really hard to deal with. They were too serious and would never even do any favors for anyone. Sometimes, they even refused to cooperate with Messenger Jiangshan if things were not executed according to its standard procedures…
Especially the principal of the Tianju Hall (Gu Canmo) was really strict and scary. He could even scold or curse Messenger Jiangshan if he was mad…
Of course, it was The Lord’s decree to push Gu Xijiu into Tianju Hall. Therefore, those old folks would not really be against it. However, he was just worried if they would abuse this little girl behind his back.
